"Peace of Mind In The Sun"

Give the Gift of Melanoma Awareness

Sometimes during the cold winter months of gift giving we let sun protection and melanoma awareness slip our minds. It’s during these non-summer months that we should think of it most and prepare for the sunny days ahead. It is only by advocating and showing support for melanoma research that we can ever imagine a world without melanoma. If you are having trouble buying a meaningful gift for someone who has been touched by melanoma either by a diagnosis or a passing–then please feel free to browse the websites below.

Help us to help others give the gift of melanoma awareness by sharing via Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter. Also, if you know of any other places to purchase melanoma awareness gifts–please share in the comments!
